Two pair in BB

My perception of UTG+1 was a solid player. Looking back at my play on this hand, I'm not sure what I was thinking with the stop n go on the turn. How would you play this differently? Thanks.

Re-raise him on the flop. If he has K-x you don't want him hitting the x or having a card counterfeit you.

Re-raise him on the flop.
The cards that hurt you: spade, 6, ace.
Also, you don't want him hitting a higher two-pair at that price. On the turn bet pot.

You accomplish very little by betting by underbetting the pot and possibly let drawing hands see the rest of the hand cheaply. This is not a slowplaying hand and bet the pot for value.

Either
1) significant pot bet on flop
or
2) significant pot reraise on flop
or
3) significant pot bet on flop

POT, POT, POT!

Yeah...I give a better explanation in the next post. I tried to stop the internet and re-thought my wording so that I could explain it better.
